Hence the fragment ""hot"" in the name. ""menusel"" and ""menuhotsel"" stand for the one currently selected (hence ""sel"") by the cursor, that is, refers to a complete entry. So far it's okay. The F2 or Alt-e menus, however, don't preserve this semantics. The whole selected line is printed in ""menuhotsel"" (unselected ones are printed in ""_default_""). In ticket #2169 I propose a patch that allows skins to use underlined characters, and I wish to use that there in the sand256 skin, to be similar to the menus of graphical applications. Underlining the hotkey looks great, really. I can do it with the F9 menu, but not with the F2/Alt-e menus: the complete selected line gets underlined. I believe that F2/Alt-e menus should use ""menusel"" instead of ""menuhotsel"" for the selected entry. Actually, they could use all four colors: the ""hot"" variants for the hotkey column only. The same goes for history windows: the highlighted entry gets the color of [dialog]->dhotfocus. As this is not a hotkey at all, and a complete line is highlighted, [dialog]->dfocus would be the correct color. I understand that such a code change would cause a minor change in the appearance of mc. I think this change is acceptable - if not then please allow the F2/Alt-e and History menus to use brand new colors, independently of the current [menu] and [dialog] colors." defect closed minor 4.7.5 mc-skin 4.7.2 fixed zaytsev committed-master
